Event Films | The day happens once, the record has to last

These situations are a good fit

  • Press conferences and launches: needing both a full record and a highlights version the media can use
  • Conferences and talks: to be turned into online courses or internal training material
  • Year-end parties and annual meetings: to share internally and as promotional material for next year
  • Award ceremonies: a full record of the proceedings plus the award moments
  • Exhibitions and markets: a highlights cut of the atmosphere on the day
  • Openings and ribbon-cuttings: a short version for publishing

Common formats and lengths

  • Full record: as long as the event itself, with no substantial cutting
  • Highlights version: 2–5 minutes, most often used for publishing
  • Short version: 30–60 seconds, vertical, for social media
  • Mainly landscape 1920×1080
  • For talks we suggest delivering “the full version plus chapter markers”, which makes it easier to find things later

Please have these ready

The rules for materials are simple. Just follow whichever one of the options below matches what you have:

1. You already have footage

  • Upload the original files to Google Drive, then share the folder link with us
  • Please put the files in order first — name them in the order you want them to appear (01, 02, 03…). This step saves a great deal of back-and-forth and makes the quote more accurate
  • Please send the original files rather than sending them through a messaging app, which compresses them and costs you quality

2. You do not have footage yet

A simple script is enough. You only need to write down three things:

  • From which second to which second
  • What is on screen
  • What text appears

For example:

0–5 sec | Opening shot (for example an aerial of the setting, the entrance, the product itself) | Text: the brand or topic name
5–12 sec | Main content, camera pushing in slowly | Text: the one line you most want people to remember
12–20 sec | Closing shot | Text: contact details or a call to action

It does not need to be beautifully written, just clear. We will use that script to assess how feasible it is and what the scope of work would be.

For anything else, just ask on our official LINE.

How we work together

Every project is bespoke, so the process starts with “taking a look first”, not with a price.

Fill in the enquiry form

Tell us the video type, length, format and delivery date. It takes about a minute.

Send the material or a script

If you have footage, upload it to Google Drive and put it in order; if you do not, send a simple three-point script (from which second to which second / what is on screen / what text appears).

Assessment and quotation

We tell you what we found and how much improvement you can expect, and send a quote for you to decide on. If we judge that it cannot be handled, we will say so and explain why.

Production and delivery

We deliver a first cut on the agreed schedule, and export the finished film once the revisions are confirmed. Working days are counted from confirmation of payment.

Frequently asked questions

The event has just finished and we need it next week — is there time?

Just tell us the delivery date you need. For rush jobs we first assess whether it fits into the schedule, and we only reply if we can take it on; we will not agree first and then run late.

Can the full version and the highlights version be made together?

Yes, and it is a common way to work. The two versions are quoted separately, but since the footage only has to be organised once, doing them together usually works out better value than commissioning them twice.

What if the live sound is very poor?

We listen to it first and then tell you how much it can be improved. Popping, unbalanced levels and background noise can usually be dealt with — see live recording repair.

What if a video file will not open?

Files corrupted by an interrupted recording or a memory-card fault can usually be recovered — see recovery for video files that will not open. As soon as you notice a problem, stop using that memory card.

Can English subtitles be added?

Yes. Subtitles in more than one language are a separate item of work, so please say which languages you need when you enquire.
